Insecticide Resistance Profile In Nashville Culex Spp. Mosquito Populations, Ellie Sebaugh, Zachary Bement, Abelardo Moncayo, Darlene Panvini Nov 2025

Insecticide Resistance Profile In Nashville Culex Spp. Mosquito Populations, Ellie Sebaugh, Zachary Bement, Abelardo Moncayo, Darlene Panvini

Science University Research Symposium (SURS)

Mosquitoes may develop resistance to insecticides used by control programs, potentially increasing population density and the risk of mosquito-borne diseases. Culex spp. mosquitos are the primary vector of West Nile Virus (WNV), the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the United States and a reportable disease in Tennessee. Resistance profiles were constructed for two insecticides, permethrin and malathion, in a Culex spp. population from Nashville, Tennessee. Adult female mosquitoes were live-captured using gravid traps and tested using the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) bioassay protocol to assess resistance or susceptibility. Three inhibitors were also included to identify metabolic …


Characterization Of Colorectal Cancer Cell Responses Using A Wound-Healing Scratch Assay Model On Wild-Type (P53 +/+) And Knockout (P53 -/-), Mehrael Faragalla, Karen Barsoum, Erick Spears Nov 2025

Characterization Of Colorectal Cancer Cell Responses Using A Wound-Healing Scratch Assay Model On Wild-Type (P53 +/+) And Knockout (P53 -/-), Mehrael Faragalla, Karen Barsoum, Erick Spears

Science University Research Symposium (SURS)

Colorectal cancer progression is driven in part by dysregulated signaling pathways that alter cell growth and migration. One key pathway is the Wnt signaling pathway, a key regulator in colorectal tumorigenesis, which promotes MYC overexpression, leading to uncontrolled proliferation. Interestingly, in the absence of p53, MYC has been found to induce expression of the tumor suppressor gene EGR1, shifting the cellular response toward apoptosis rather than growth. This study investigates the MYC–EGR1 pathway in HCT116 colorectal cancer cells with either wild-type (p53+/+) or knockout of the TP53 gene (p53−/−). Early findings indicate that p53+/+ cells exhibit faster initial growth compared …


Impact Of Sociodemographic, Clinical, And Intervention Characteristics On Pain Intensity Within A Single Music Therapy Session, Samuel N. Rodgers-Melnick, Douglas Gunzler, Thomas E. Love, Siran M. Koroukian, Mark Beno, Jeffery A. Dusek, Johnie Rose Nov 2025

Impact Of Sociodemographic, Clinical, And Intervention Characteristics On Pain Intensity Within A Single Music Therapy Session, Samuel N. Rodgers-Melnick, Douglas Gunzler, Thomas E. Love, Siran M. Koroukian, Mark Beno, Jeffery A. Dusek, Johnie Rose

Faculty Scholarship

Several studies support the efficacy of music therapy (MT) for reducing pain, but few have examined which interventions are most effective or which patients are more likely to respond. This study investigated which sociodemographic, clinical, and intervention characteristics are associated with clinically significant reductions in pain intensity (0–10 numeric rating scale reduction ≥2 units) within a single MT session. We conducted a retrospective review of 2039 MT sessions provided across a large health system among 1203 adult patients reporting pre-session pain ≥4/10, a complete post-session pain score, and a complete pre-session stress score. We employed a multivariable logistic mixed effects …

Brain and Mind Institute

In public health research, diverse perspectives are vital to identify biases that homogenous teams might miss. Since publication metrics influence career progression, we investigated publication rate disparities within a School of Public Health. We analysed 18 322 peer-reviewed publications by 513 affiliated researchers between 2014 and 2023 using multivariable regression models and network analysis to assess the impact of gender, ethnicity, job level and centrality in the School’s research network on publication rates. We found a persistent gender gap in publication rates across job levels and ethnicities, with men publishing more than women (incidence rate ratio 1.30, 95% confidence interval …
